Do you have secret names for your neighbours?

[Cattery]

We have Dot Woman, Mattress Burner, Strangler and Trappy

Mr and Mrs TOWIE Tryhard - think the Clampetts, but on steroids, and with oodles of grey crushed velvet. They are truly vile people who have caused a lot of upset locally. Potentially outing to say more but needless to say we will all cheer when and if they and their feral offspring move on.

Used to have the Bells on the End. Their surname was not Bell.

Shirley Von Bitchface

The Bull ( size of one and has nostrils to match/ always huffing and whinging.)
Lady in the van (stinks like an old tramp & no social skills).
ElevenErife (you’ve been to Tenerife, they’ve been to ElevenErife, will stop outside to chat if we are just about to leave the house).

The racing snake! 👌👍

We know most people's names, but there is parking space man and parking space man's wife (poor bloody woman) and then there's the lawn people.

@Thecatspjymas Brilliant!

Tango
Baldy
Twat out the back, also often referred to as the Goblin
Adam - no idea if he is called Adam but he looks like an Adam
The megaphone
David Dickinson

We have Zelenski, flower woman, mirror [ds's name], stabby Joe.

🤣

I blame Enid Blyton for turning us into a nation of neighbour namers. Saucepan Man. Moonface etc. See also work colleague nicknames.

I forgot about Michael Por-twin-o. He is a dead ringer for the ex MP, and even has the red or yellow trousers to match. Not technically a neighbour but often seen walking to the bus stop.

Dickhead Dave.
he really does live up to it.
we also use him as an example of what happens when you don’t clean your teeth to our dc!

Yes we have ‘The Chavs’ over the road. Oh and ‘Our Graham’ ( Blind date fans will understand) next door.

Opposite neighbours are The Miserables

Wet Wipe, Big Foot and the Hendersons, Spooky Whoosh.

Great thread idea btw.

Boudicca

I wish you were my neighbour - fucking hilarious🤣

We have

Angry Man

The Bin Whisperer (these two seem to appear everywhere!)

Daddy’s Little Princess (mid 30s and her dad still does everything for her)

The World Travellers

And we found out our ‘name’ courtesy of the children next door. We are The Vikings. I’m hoping it’s referring to our well above average height, not our behaviour!

Haha these threads always crack me up as we also have names for people in the street..

Doris and Dora - 2 older ladies who live together down the street but we don't know their real names.

Chase and Marshall - a couple with loads of dogs.

Steve - he always calls my husband Steve even though that's not his name so we always call him Steve back.

Midnight Barry - always putting things in his wheelie bin late at night and slamming the lid down.

Haha. Good point.

You've just reminded me that me and my Mum used to have code names when we had our café. It was to identify certain people so I'd pop my head out and say hello from the kitchen when she gave me the check.

(So many regulars names to remember, and often 6 or 7 Daves for example) So we had:

Cheese Savoury Tom
No beans Dave
Daddy Dave
Baby Dave (Daddy Dave's son)
Soup and a sandwich couple
The monk (he actually was a monk)
The Latte Men
The lads from the garage
Barm cake boys
The chutney girls
The Vegetarians

I have a cunty chops over the road.

Manky Frankie across the road here. His garden looks like Steptoe’s yard. They have 2 awful shit cars which pish oil everywhere, one isn’t taxed which is parked on the road and I have reported to DVLA several times. They also got a new car and only a few weeks it’s covered in dents. They seem to have loads of work done recently and instead of hiring a skip for the old stuff getting thrown out it was just in the garden for weeks. Fuck knows why they are bothering as if they take the same care of it they do their cars it’ll all look like shit soon.

Covid Carol ( first family to succumb on our street) also known as the Clampets!

My parents had a neighbour with black hair and a beard so they called him. Sutcliffe
